Noida Groups unite to celebrate World Environment Day with a Duathlon and Tree Plantation Drive

Noida : The residents and cyclist communities of NCR are participating in a Duathlon and tree plantation drive this 9th June to raise awareness about environmental issues and celebrate the Environment Week.

The event is organized by *Anahita Foundation* in association with *Noida Development Authority*.
As a part of the celebration, cyclists from active fitness groups like Dare2Gear and Cycloholics are taking part in a Duathlon where they will cycle for a distance of 25 Km from Noida to CWG stadium spreading the message for a clean and green environment and then participate in a run at the stadium. After this they will cycle back to Noida to join the tree plantation drive with the residents in Sector 15.

Manoj Singh Founder President of *Anahita Foundation*, said, “We are very pleased to see the response and enthusiasm from the residents and cyclist communities towards this initiative. We believe that even small efforts taken today can bring in big change tomorrow. A tree plantation drive and adopting a organic lifestyle is our humble contribution in leaving a healthier planet for our future generations. At the same time the growing pollution levels in our cities is a major concern and it is very reassuring to see the growing community of cyclists around Delhi NCR. To encourage more people to adopt this environment friendly means of commute, we are also doing a duathlon”.

*Anahita Foundation* is a non-profit organization, which is engaged in social initiatives at grass roots levels, with a motive to work on some major issues that include environmental issues.
